Some of that fancy tissue paper, to see if is all that. Not cheap at all.

An aftermarket bracelet for my Seiko 5 7s26

I’ve always liked the micro-adjustable Seiko bracelets but because I have such skinny wrists, the inside of the clasp can sometimes dig into my wrist uncomfortably - particularly if it protrudes, as mine did.

The red arrow points to the protrusion and the blue shows that I was on the last adjustment hole.

The new generic bracelet is much more comfortable.

Here's my contribution to this thread. Although I have to admit I was given the artwork, I did buy the frame, though.

I love this. I found the website - expensive for what it is, and I collect artwork prints so I'd like to think I know what I'm on about... sometimes. Then again, this hobby isn't a "money saving" hobby, is it? 😉

I saw this vintage generic 18mm bracelet on eBay for £15 and put it in my watchlist. I was then offered it for £10 and bought it.

I’ve no idea which watch will get it 😯

I've got a wedding coming up in a couple weeks so I picked up a leather strap for the Speedy. Think I got a decent deal on eBay, an oem 3861 strap+deployant for $250. Looks great and I think it'll go nicely with my suit

This from the strap tailor. Needed something for a watch that isn’t getting worn enough.

I like his work! I had him make a blue/orange strap for my 176.007 that works fabulously and with the deployant.

It's my first one from him. Haven't had enough time to put it through the paces but I really like the look and feel out of the package, first impression.
